A smaller board with diagonals in play means the letters sit close together and answers cross one another more often.

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Squeezing slanted entries into a compact square makes the grid dense. Shared letters are common here, and a single letter can belong to two answers at once, so a word you already crossed off may still be holding up the one you are hunting. The vocabulary is unchanged, but it feels tighter.

This size suits a short sitting with a bit of bite: a coffee, a train, a waiting room. It also prints small without becoming unreadable, which makes it a reasonable choice when you want to fit a puzzle onto a newsletter page or a handout that already has other things on it.

Hunt the odd letters first. J turns up in a single entry on this list and X in one other, so spotting either of them on the board effectively hands you an answer.
